Comment on How-To: One iTunes Library With Multiple Computers by Andy

I haven't tried this method yet - here's my method, but it seems to have a pitfall. can you tell me if yours has a similar problem before i undo what i've done? My set up is one iMac, with two user accounts, which we never log out of - just using fast user switching, so both accounts are semi permanently logged in. I also have a NAS. I dropped all my mp3s etc into a folder on the NAS, and then set about mapping iTunes' prefs to point to it. The problem comes in here. Because both users are logged in, it'll actually mount a second instance of the NAS - which means the path is slightly different for each user. For user 1 it'll be /vol/music/ For user 2 it'll be /vol/music-1/ which is fine, until you restart the mac and log into user 2 first, and launch itunes, because the NAS mount now is music - not music-1, so iTunes won't be able to find anything. the reason I've done this is so that each user can maintain their own iTunes stats (playcounts, playlists etc). It's fine, as long as I never log out, or if i do make sure that one account logs in first. Will your procedure solve this issue? THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

Edward Tufte's Library Up For Auction

px2 writes "I was poking around Christie's auction house after taking a look at the Apple 1 when I came across this: Beautiful Evidence: The Library of Edward Tufte. He's unloading everything from Galileo and Da Vinci firsts to a rotating Japanese astronomical text from 1801. I guess he didn't conjure his ideas on information design from thin air." Based on Christie's estimates, the collection of 29 artifacts could fetch in excess of two and a quarter million dollars.

The Radar: Vatican Library Opens, Gap Years More Popular, National Parks Fee Free

• This winter the recently restored Vatican Library will open its doors to the public for the first time, giving visitors the unique opportunity to view rare historical texts, ancient coins, and manuscripts that are typically accessible only by scholars. Open from November 11, 2010 to January 31, 2011 reservations for the exhibit, "The Vatican Library: A Story Open to the Future," must be made in advance. [Jospers' Posterous]

• More U.S. students are taking gap years according to an MSNBC report. Gap years-- a break taken by students between graduating high school and starting college-- are becoming more popular as organizations and educators work to spread awareness about gap year opportunities and the related advantages.

• National Parks that charge admission will waive the fee tomorrow in honor of Veterans Day. In addition, several parks have special events, deals, and prizes being offered in conjunction with the holiday. This is the last of the popular fee free days in 2010, but the NPS plans to continue the service next year. [Gadling]
